In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

It's difficult to see convection currents in any liquid that's undergoing a temperature change, but in this Exploratorium Science Snack, you can see the currents with the help of food coloring.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

In this yummy earth science activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners use fudge to learn about different kinds of lava.

This Exploratorium activity can be used in many contexts because geysers are great opportunities for learning about heat and temperature changes as well as geological/space science phenomena.

In this activity, learners investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.

In some parts of the world, lakes freeze during winter. In this activity learners will explore water’s unique properties of freezing and melting, and how these relate to density and temperature.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.
